The TaxProf parent company and LPB honcho Paul Caron recently made two ethics-related posts. One announces a job opening in Treasury (in DC next to the White House) for an ethics attorney; apply by Nov. 13. The other post links to an SSRN paper called "The Ethics of Tax Evasion: A Comparative Study of Germany and the United States," and has its abstract. It involves comparative surveys of populations in the U.S. and Germany, so it is not about legal ethics as such, but rather public compliance. Finally, Paul announces he is a 1 in a 100 guy. That leaves 99 other Paul Carons wishing they'd thought of LPB. [Alan Childress]
